Due to the damage to various school structures, both the local government and the federal government established action plans and funds were allocated for the rehabilitation of schools. Several researchers have detected geological faults that are not registered in the Seismic Hazard Map of Puerto Rico, reporting seismic parameters that are of great contribution to the community since they provide fundamental information to consider in the rehabilitation of structures in the event of earthquakes of greater intensity than those presented in 2020. Throughout the study project, several models of a typical school in Puerto Rico were carried out, generating 3 base structures, consisting of schools with 4, 6 and 8 classrooms per floor, in which sub-models were generated assigning various percentages of reinforced concrete walls in a longitudinal direction, seeking to analyze their structural performance, achieving that with the seismic data detected by these researchers, structures can develop a level of Operational performance with a percentage of 2% of floor area in reinforced concrete walls located in the longitudinal direction of the structure.En enero de 2020, un sismo hizo mostrar las deficiencias estructurales de algunas infraestructuras, dentro de ellas hay un caso particular que es el colapso de un edificio escolar, la escuela Agripina Seda localizada en el sur de Puerto Rico colapsó, afectando el progreso académico de sus estudiantes. Debido a que diversas estructuras escolares sufrieron daños, tanto Gobierno Local y Gobierno Federal establecieron planes de acción y se destinaron fondos para la rehabilitación de escuelas. Diversos investigadores han detectado fallas geológicas que no se encuentran registradas en el Mapa de Peligrosidad Sísmica de Puerto Rico, reportando parámetros sísmicos que son de gran aporte a la comunidad ya que proporcionan información fundamental para considerar en la rehabilitación de estructuras ante la ocurrencia de sismos de mayor intensidad que los presentados en el 2020. A lo largo del proyecto de estudio se realizaron diversos modelos de una escuela típica de Puerto Rico, generando 3 estructuras base, constando de escuelas con 4,6 y 8 salones por planta, en los cuales se generaron sub modelos asignando diversos porcentajes de muros de hormigón armado en sentido longitudinal, buscando analizar su desempeño estructural, logrando obtener que con los datos sísmicos detectados por estos investigadores, las estructuras pueden desarrollar un nivel de desempeño de Operacional con un porcentaje de 2% de área de planta en muros de hormigón armado localizados en el sentido longitudinal de la estructura.esAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/PushoverSchoolsPuerto RicoRetrofitConcrete Shear WallsSchool buildings - Earthquake effects - Puerto RicoSchool buildings - SpecificationsBuildings, Reinforced concrete - Earthquake effectsBuildings - Retrofitting - Puerto RicoProject Report(c) 2024 Jonathan Castillo Sainz
